Program Overview

What Montpellier Business School says about their program:
"Limited access to financial services, or financial exclusion, is a challenging reality for an important share of world’s population in both developing and developed countries. Financial exclusion is highly linked with poverty and it exacerbates situations of social exclusion. Public and international aid institutions have shown their limits in alleviating poverty. On the contrary, social innovations, such as the microfinance movement, provide market-based solutions to fight poverty and social exclusion by improving access to financial services. These social innovations are one of the main focus of this Msc.


Our Msc course is designed to teach responsible finance concepts, principles and framework in the context of traditional component of Msc in Finance such as financial markets, corporate governance, risk management…Our Msc is also build at the same time to provide with the fundamental economic and finance skills required to strengthen participants’ skills in banking and financial activities. Knowledge is applied to different financial products and is aimed at aligning investors´ financial objectives with the social responsibility concern and challenge.


Our Msc prepares for a wide range of careers where young professionals in long-term financial management and asset management increasingly need to understand the challenges of sustainability and corporate responsibility.


Graduate could engage both in traditional position armed from the responsible finance concepts such as roles within financial directions, banks and institutions, or directly work in a position related to responsible finance (microfinance departments, NGOS…) or create their own business (start’ups,…)."
